Tutorial - How to make theme images

Post by Scraper »

So, I was just searching myself a new theme image for Xpadder.
But then I thought that: "I want to make my own..."

There are some infos under "Xpadder settings/Theme/Help" (question mark) on Xpadder, but I thought to write an simple step-by-step instructions on how to make your own theme images for Xpadder.

So, if you want to make a theme image of your own, it's very easy!
Just follow these steps:


1. Find yourself a good picture that you like...

2. Open the image into any picture editing program: Paint, Photoshop, GIMP, etc. .

3. Resize the picture into 520x360.

4. Save as... (name it what you like, for example: theme.bmp)
Use the following settings for the picture: .BMP format, 8-bit (256 colors) OR 24-bit (16 million colors) .
If you try some other settings, Xpadder won't recognize your picture and gives an error.

5. Open Xpadder and go to: Xpadder Settings/Theme .
Under that tab, you'll find text: "Image".
Click: "Open..." and find your just saved image and double click on it.

And that's it!
